Matthew 18:1-14

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, Who, then, is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 He called a little child to him, and
placed the child among them. 3 And he said: Truly I tell you, unless you
change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom
of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one
such child in my name welcomes me. 6 If anyone causes one of these
little onesthose who believe in meto stumble, it would be better for
them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be
drowned in the depths of the sea.

7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to

stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person
through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes
you to stumble, cut it o and throw it away. It is beOer for you
to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or
two feet and be thrown into eternal re. 9 And if your eye
causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is
beOer for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes
and be thrown into the re of hell.

10 See that you do not despise one of these liOle ones. For I
tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my
Father in heaven. 12 What do you think? If a man owns a
hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not
leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one
that wandered o? 13 And if he nds it, truly I tell you, he is
happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that
did not wander o. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is
not willing that any of these liOle ones should perish.

Ma-hew 20:20-28

20 Then the mother of Zebedees sons came to Jesus with her sons
and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
21 What is it you want? he asked.
She said, Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your
right and the other at your leL in your kingdom.
22 You dont know what you are asking, Jesus said to them. Can
you drink the cup I am going to drink?
We can, they answered.

Ma-hew 20:24-28

24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two
brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, You know that the
rulers of the GenXles lord it over them, and their high ocials exercise
authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to
become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever
wants to be rst must be your slave 28 just as the Son of Man did
not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom
for many.
